Except for the spring. The sping was put into the first expansion of the house.

Finally got the Omega shaft Glasses Up completely. But I am only 8 blocks deep.

Spoiler:

I put a small 5x5 extension of the house for this:

Spoiler:

It is a natural cave system that I have done nothing to other than mine some ores and turn the lava into obby.

Thia is my Tree Garden:

Spoiler:

Not much to say. It just is what it is.

Mineshaft One was built under the original foundation of the house:

Spoiler:

And here we are back up at the top of a hill where I built the Omega Shaft Overlook:

Spoiler:

This time we are overlooking my house in it's current state:

Future plans? I will eventually expand my house again to include the future spot of Mineshaft Omicron Psi. It should be about 3 times the size of the Omega Shaft (Gonna have to take out part of a mountain to make it though >.>). If you think I should make anything else just let me know. Glass is my main source of building materials (until I can get a crap load of obby).

The lights kinda fade off into the distance but there is and end to it.

Also found another epic mineshaft but have died twice from creeper explosions and have lost 2 diamond pick axes and a bunch of steel tools, along with about 300 torches 90 coal and 40 iron ore. So I am kinda starting form scratch. Not gonna go back there for a while. too much death.

For starters during the first night I mine strait down in my starter home creating stairs as I go down. When I get deep enough I expand in one direction to create a shaft. I then decided depending on how big my starter house is how wide and long I want the shaft to be. I then proceed to dig strait down to rock bottom. After I hit rock bottom I then choose to either dig North, South, East, or West in a strait line 4 or 5 high. If one of them turns out to be five high I will just go back and fix the ones that aren't. If I have been digging in one direction and haven't found some sort of cave system I will go back and dig in the opposite direction. If I don't find anything in that direction I pick another and then again the last. All during this time I find a suitable place to stat digging one of my bigger mine shafts. I will dig this out 3-4 deep and then put a roof of glass over top so sunlight can get in but monsters cannot. It usually takes a bit of tweaking cause there will be spots where they can still get through. After I've dug it out a bit I will got to explore to find Natural cave systems trying to find extremely extensive ones. I usually bring enough sticks to make more torches as I find coal. I also bring a work bench with in case I need more tools. After I find a lot of resources and completely explore the cave I will return to my home and start building a walkway to the the cave so that I may go to and come form it day or night. When I get bored of that I challenge myself with little projects. For instance I built some stairs going up to my Overlook. And then I usually end up taking a very close area that is rather flat and mining out the entire thing; i.e. Omicron Psi.

In this case Omicron Psi had a cave system just below the surface which has made me very happy.

The game crashed and I lost part of the cave that I was exploring. It was that cave I had kept dieing in. I decided to go explore it one more time and was successful in exploring maybe 1/3 of it, which took all of 3 hours and that's when the game crashed. It is a big cave system. I think it might take up most of the continent that I am on and also lead out under the ocean. Well anyway, I lost a bout half of the 1/3 I had explored, but I did not lose my items which is weird. I went and explored a part I had explored but was now unexplored, and it had stuff I had already mined. So a lot of mining work down the drain but it seems there will be profit if I am successful in re-mining it.

On a side note I built a chimney (like a week ago). For so reason I had the urge to put stairs in my house to get on the roof. I built a small glass room on top of my house. I put in a door. I was compelled to do this for no apparent reason. I then proceeded to put in a door. Then I made stairs along the outside of the chimney spiraling to the top. I then made the cut little hole in the top (to see out? idk). I forgot there was a hole in the middle which ran down to the incinerator. I fell. Burned to death. and then my items burned.... I went to my re-spawn went back in my house and logged out. Severely pissed, because I Still don't know why I made stairs to get on my roof and the up the side of the chimney.
